Top 10 Memorial Ideas

After the death of a loved one, there is often need for families and friends to remember their life in some way, to celebrate their passing

. Any online search will return some really unique (and often odd) ways to commemorate a loved one's passing, and here are the best I've found.

1. This idea is quite explosive but did you know you can have the ashes of your loved one put inside specially created fireworks and fire them off into the night sky for a beautiful display.

2. Also along the line of ashes into sky, there is a company in the USA that fill rifle cartridges with cremated ash so you can load them into your gun and shoot! (I'm sorry but I just don't get that one!)Along the same vein as the last idea, a company will make a cannon ball and incorporate the ash for you. All you have to do is fire it from a suitable cannon (we all have one lying about somewhere)

3. Why not have the ash kept in a piece of memorial jewellery and wear i9t close at all times.

4. If you have some cremated ash and are looking for an artistic thing to do with them, then why don't you have them made into a pencil. After which you can create great works of art. A fitting tribute I think!

5. A really lovely eco idea is to use the cremated ash to form part of a coral reef. That way you continue to support sea life and you ashes are put to good use.

6.If your departed loved one was a stickler for timekeeping (or if they loved eggs cooked in a specific way!) then you can have their ashes put inside an egg timer!

7 I really love this one, and it is the idea of turning ashes into diamonds. A company in the USA specialises in this. The whole process does take the best part of a year to produce the diamond but what a lovely tribute!

8.If you love flowers, then there is a company that are able to mix ash with 'forget me not' seeds and impregnate them into paper. After the funeral or on the anniversary of their death you can give them to friends and family and think about the one you loved every spring when the forget me nots bloom.

9. You can even name a star after your loved one, and think about them when you look up into the night sky.

10.Lastly, if you love tattoos then how about adding to your collection, but this time, have the cremated ash mixed with the ink and have your departed tattooed into your skin!
